    This Martini Fiero Spritz is made with prosecco and sparkling water for a refreshing summer cocktail. It has a distinct flavor profile and makes a great alternative to the classic Aperol Spritz.

    Stemmed wine glass filled with crushed ice and a red liquid.

    The zesty notes of the Martini Spritz are enhanced by salty foods. Serve this drink at happy our (or at aperitivo hour as the Italians would say) with salty crackers and mix of green and black olives.

    What you need to know about Martini Fiero

    What is Martini Fiero?

    Martini Fiero is a modern vermouth made of white wines that were aromatized and fortified with citrus and bittersweet orange.

    What does Martini Fiero taste like?

    Fiero has a strong blood-orange flavor combined with slightly acidic wine notes that end on a fresh citrus note.

    Martini Fiero vs Aperol

    Both are bitter orange liqueurs with a bright orange-reddish color. However, their composition and taste are completely different. Aperol is mainly made of gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, and Fiero a blend of white wines. Fiero is less sweet than Aperol whit a strong blood-orange flavor that ends on a fresh citrus note. Aperol has a milder taste that reminds of mandarine and a more bitter aftertaste.

    How to drink Martini Fiero?

    You can drink it as a Spritz with prosecco or as a long drink with tonic water.

    Is Martini Fiero vegan?

    According to Barnivore, due to the use of gelatin of animal origin during the filtration process, Martini products are not vegan friendly.
    Barnivore is a crowdsourced platform, where vegans from all over the world ask producers if their products are vegan and share the answers online.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • This Martini Spritz has a relatively low alcohol content compared to other cocktails. Plus you can always dilute it with sparkling water.
    • It's fun, zesty and refreshing for summer.
    • Martini Fiero is a great alternative to Aperol. It's often cheaper, too.

    Which Prosecco to choose?

    There are 3 types of prosecco called spumante (sparkling), frizzante (semi-sparkling) and tranquillo (still) depending on their fizziness. You can further categorize them according to their residual sugar levels and resulting sweetness.

    • Brut has the lowest residual sugar content after fermentation (< 12g/L).
    • Extra dry and dry kinds are sweeter than brut prosecco.
    • Demi-sec has a sugar content of up to 50 g/L and is, therefore, the sweetest type of prosecco.

    Martini Fiero pairs wells with sparkling brut or dry prosecco. Martini and Rossi's own prosecco works great, too.

    You want to look for a Designation Of Controlled Origin (DOC). Prosecco DOC is the basic quality level of Prosecco. It's widely available for producers and guarantees a certain quality. Prosecco Superiore DOCG (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin) indicates a higher quality prosecco with grapes growing on the steepest hills of the Treviso province of Veneto.

    Frequently asked questions

    What can you use instead of prosecco?

    Martini recommends serving Martini Fiero with tonic water, which is a great alternative to Prosecco. Champagne or other sparkling wine work great, too.

    Where can you buy Martini Fiero?

    You can buy any type of Martini at well-stocked liquor stores. Check the liqueur sections (next to the Campari). Alternatively, you can also find it online.
